The Body Is The Frontline (New Work 2010)

The Body Is The Frontline is in pre-production and research phase. After spending a lengthy period researching the physicality of war, joining the 4 Rifles on exercises and working with patients at Headley Court, Rosie Kay creates a brand new work of startling physicality, expression and drama exploring modern issues surrounding warfare.

The frontline today is the body- the bodies of soldiers, the bodies of the enemy, the bodies of innocent casualties.

War is a physical action that affects our bodies. The Body is the Frontline shows that war is human.
